## Introduction

 

Nanocrystalline magnetic powder core, as a new type of magnetic material, has shown broad application prospects in many fields due to its unique nano-particle size and excellent magnetic properties. This paper will deeply discuss the working principle, preparation method and application of nanocrystalline magnetic powder core in different fields, and reveal its important role in modern science and technology.

 

## Working principle

 

The working principle of nanocrystalline magnetic powder core is based on the interaction between magnetic particles. The particle size is close to the size of the magnetic domain, which makes the macroscopic magnetization process closely connected with the microscopic magnetic domain structure. This characteristic makes the nanocrystalline magnetic powder core exhibit a unique behavior pattern during the magnetization process. By controlling and changing the composition and structure of the nanocrystalline magnetic powder core, its magnetic properties can be precisely adjusted to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

 

In particular, the high permeability and low coercivity of the nanocrystalline magnetic powder core are derived from the tiny size and uniform grain distribution of its nanoscale particles. In addition, the gap effect between the nanocrystalline particles and the isolation effect of the insulating medium effectively reduce the eddy current loss and hysteresis loss, and improve the performance of the material in high-frequency applications. These characteristics make nanocrystalline magnetic powder core an ideal choice for high frequency power supply, magnetic sensor and other fields.

 

## Preparation method

 

The preparation methods of nanocrystalline magnetic powder core are various, including sol-gel method, chemical co-precipitation method, high temperature solid phase method and rapid solidification method. Among them, the sol-gel method is favored because of its controllable process and high product quality. The method accurately controls the formation and growth process of nanocrystalline particles through the steps of sol preparation, gelation, drying and sintering, so as to prepare nanocrystalline magnetic powder cores with excellent magnetic properties.

 

In addition, mechanical milling is also an effective means of preparation. Through high-energy ball milling and other mechanical forces, the microstructure of the raw material powder is changed to produce nanocrystalline particles. This method can flexibly control the grain size and ratio, and is suitable for the preparation of magnetic powders with specific properties.
